We're editing an anthology of poems by readers and performers at the poetry evening Dónall hosts once a month at the Bar des Arts in Guildford. We published the 2013 Anthology last October and this year we're starting the editing early. Everyone involved is very enthusiastic and this year's book promises to be as varied and stimulating as last year's, reflecting the exciting mix of guests and floor-spot readers that we have at the Bar des Arts each month. Deadline for entries is 30th June and the launch will be in October.

More news - we've been invited to program the first half of a spoken word event for the Guildford Festival Fringe in G-Live, Guildford, on July 9th. We've invited Eddie Chauncy, Anna Kahn and Louise Etheridge to take part, supporting Adam Kammerling and Anna Freeman who appear in the second half of the show.

And another new venue for us - a fun Slam Night at the Keystone on July 14th - we've never been keen on slam poetry, but this will be just for fun and (small) prizes as part of the Guildford Fringe Festival. It happens to be the evening before our regular poetry performance evening at the Bar des Arts in Guildford, Pop Up Poetry - but we think Guildford can cope with this!
